One word of caution. Rob Macks commented that the epoxy affixing these little blocks to the deck can soften with extreme heat and allow them to pop off. They are under tension from the bungies.

I have used this method for fifteen years and never had any problems. Rob is a LOT more expert than I am in the field though, so it may be a consideration if you paddle in a very warm and sunny climate. Not really an issue where I live.
